813 Spice
Not long after, with a puff, a squirming worm was spat out. Yes, it was spat out.
Qin Xi used the Mystic True Qi to force it out. Otherwise, the Gu worm in Cui Xiaoxiao’s body would adhere to her flesh and blood, refusing to come out.
Only this method could force it out.
The military doctor came to the struggling Gu worm and took a closer look. “So this is a Gu worm? It’s no different from an ordinary worm!”
As he spoke, he wanted to touch it with his hand.
Qin Xi said faintly, “If you don’t want to be like Cui Xiaoxiao, you’d better stomp it to death!”
The military doctor instantly retracted his hand and quickly took two steps back. He looked at the squirming worm on the ground in fear. “Is this thing that ferocious?”
Qin Xi put away the silver needles and replied calmly, “You can try!”
The military doctor’s face turned pale and he shook his head like a rattle-drum. “I was just kidding!”
He stretched out his foot and stepped on the Gu worm, smashing it into paste. Red and grainy things splattered everywhere.
“Ew ~ What’s this? It’s so disgusting!”
It was not that he was being squeamish, but not only did this thing look disgusting, but the smell it emitted was also very strong, making his stomach churn.
Qin Xi took out a pill and opened Cui Xiaoxiao’s mouth. She stuffed the pill into Cui Xiaoxiao’s mouth and it melted.
“The Gu worm eats human organs. Fortunately, it was discovered early. Otherwise, even a god wouldn’t be able to save her.”
Seeing her skillful control of the acupuncture needles, Du Zhentao no longer doubted Qin Xi. However, when he looked at the dead Gu worm on the ground, his expression was extremely solemn and ugly.
“I didn’t expect someone to use this evil thing. It’s really horrendous.”
Qin Xi said with a smile, “What’s so strange about that? I’ve encountered a few people who used Gu worms. Not only did they use it, but they also used it in a despicable way!”
Du Zhentao’s face darkened, and his aura was rising steadily. He tried his best to suppress his temper and asked through gritted teeth, “Doctor Qin, what do you mean?”
Qin Xi told him everything about Elder Wang and his archeological team getting infected with the Gu worms as well as Fu Sheng’s mother, who might be the one behind it.
The more Du Zhentao listened, the angrier he became. In the end, his eyes looked like that of a wolf’s, and the temperature in the surroundings plummeted. The military doctor was terrified and felt like he was in an icehouse.
“Outrageous, absolutely outrageous…”
He took a few deep breaths to calm down. He looked at Qin Xi and said in an apologetic tone. “I’m really sorry. I was too excited just now and couldn’t control my emotions.”
Qin Xi thought for a moment and said, “Although the Gu worms are dangerous, they’re not omnipotent. If you want a solution, it’s actually very simple.”
“Oh? Doctor Qin, do you have a way to kill these Gu worms?” Du Zhentao was overjoyed and asked impatiently.
“It’s just a small worm. I have a spice. As long as the spice is ignited, no matter what Gu worm it is, it will be dead. If you want it, I can give you a few packets for free,” Qin Xi said.
Du Zhentao was delighted. “Thank you then, Doctor Qin.”
